Super Mario Bros, Obama Edition

spreading the wealth in the mushroom kingdom

Playing on the Obama-mania of so many of his cyber-aged supporters (young voters preferred Obama more than two to one), the game combines the nostalgia of Super Mario Brothers with a biting political message.

Here's my take on it. I was going to use Princess Peach as the "evil rich" symbol, but decided Rich Uncle Pennybags, from Monopoly, is more recognizable as such.

Faith the Wonder Dog, Now With Sounds

bigger, faster, better

I took the Faith the Wonder Dog video I found on Rachel Lucas's blog and added sounds to it. I added "The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies" as the soundtrack and a few well placed bouncy sounds. Why? Because I can. Basically, this is me fiddling around with Flash. The video actually synched up very well with the music without any tweaks. I let it end abruptly. I'm lazy.



Once again, the sound is hissy. My laptop is great for everything except recording sounds. I can't convert the Flash Projects to any format YouTube will accept unless I use a workaround. This involves capturing a section of screen and recording the audio like an old fashioned tape recorder. It frustrates the heck out of me. Maybe I'll explain it a little further sometime.

Sing Along With Hugo: Chavez Cuts an Album

oldies but goodies

I found this on Fox News today.

The Venezuelan president is lending his voice to a couple of revolutionary tunes -- literally -- on a new collection of songs and poems released by his United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV). It's what every youngster in Caracas will want on his iPod.

Exclusive to Right U R, here is a commercial that will be hitting Venezuelan airwaves soon. He sings like a bird. Who knew?



Here is the original clip of Eddie Murphy doing Buckwheat's Greatest Hits for SNL on YouTube. Enjoy.

Flash Movie With Joe Biden as Fire Marshal Bill

let me show you something



My inspiration for this came from the caption contest over at Right Pundits. Particularly participant Justin McAffee, whose caption was, "Don’t worry, I’m a fire marshall. LET ME SHOW YOU SOMETHING"

Hit the nail on the head with that one.

You can find the original In Living Color, Fire Marshal Bill YouTube video here.

Does Doll Deliver Islamic Message?

baby talk

Has anyone seen this yet?

From the article:

Parents are outraged about the messages they're hearing from a doll. It's Fisher-Price's "Little Mommy Real Loving Baby Cuddle and Coo" doll.

Some people claim they can hear it mumble "Satan is king" in one track; then clearly speak "Islam is the light" in another.

Well, I listened to it. I have to be honest here ... I didn't hear any Islamic messages or anything else for that matter. It just sounds like baby gibberish to me. Click below and listen for yourself. Let me know what you think.

Obama and Biden in Pulp Fiction

royale with cheese

I tivo'd the Bareass Obambi channel just like I promised I would. The programming has gotten a little better. In fact, the movie that was on is one of those where I have to sit and watch until the end no matter where in the story I happen on it.



More on the production of this later. It was quite the hassle. Making it was fun. Converting it from swf format? Not so much. Enjoy. My next project will be Wilford Brimely doing scenes from Sling Blade. I'm cracking up just thinking about it.
